HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of emergency contraception can affect the future menstrual cycles by altering timing and intensity of bleeding.
Though the protective effect is high when used appropriately, it is not as high as consistent use of other hormonal contraception such as OCP.
Because of this , you may want to consider a pregnancy test to see if you conceived.
I hope this helps
